I would use /offsetHeight /to know the height of the div and then substract paddings, margins and borders of the div... This way you would have the size of your content... Something like... var opts1 = document.getElementById("options"); opts1H = opts1.offsetHeight; opts2H = opts1 - 10; // 5px top and bottom margin value for example. opts3H = opts2H - 10; // 5px top and bottom padding value for example. opts4H = opts3H - 2; // 1px top and bottom margin value for example opts5H = opts4H + "px"; Details about offsetheight property can be readed here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.offsetHeight Hope this helps...
